Early rise posted by dancelover2012. Are you looking at this question as a male. If you are, and this is Foxtrot, the instructions are very clear. They are rise at the end of the first step. Which means you are going onto your second step from a toe to a toe ( and not to commence to rise which would be wrong ). If you are coming off a flat foot you are totally wrong. Just follow the technique book. Don't forget to sway on steps 2 and 3 as well as CBM on step 1.
